    restaurant quality
    small rooms

    How it stacks up, my honest take

    This gem sits right in the heart of a lively neighborhood, making exploration a breeze. The refurbished rooms marry vintage charm with modern comfort. Breakfast exceeded expectations, and the friendly staff felt like family. But the restaurant left something to be desired, so consider dining options outside for a better experience.

    charming location
    heated towel rail
    friendly staff
    tiny bathroom
    no tea/coffee

    The location was definitely the highlight of my stay, right amidst the charm of the old town and within walking distance to many attractions. I absolutely loved the little touches in the room, like the heated towel rail and the delightful elephant-patterned curtains. The staff allowed me to check in early, which made my arrival so much more pleasant. Overall, the experience was a fantastic deal for the price, making it a top choice for anyone visiting the area.

    Hotel Elefant features charming decor with wonderfully warm tones, making it inviting for guests. Its central location made attractions and restaurants easily accessible, which I appreciated as a senior. The staff were kind and helpful throughout my stay.

    More seating in common areas would be nice.

    The Elefant offers an unbeatable location in the heart of the old town, surrounded by charming historical architecture. The room was well-appointed with traditional decor, providing a cozy atmosphere.

    ideal location

    Charming, charming, charming

    I was smitten by the unique elephant-themed decor that added a playful touch to my stay. The breakfast spread was nothing short of a feast, complete with Prosecco that made mornings so much brighter! With the ideal location allowing me to explore the old town effortlessly, I felt like I'd found my little slice of paradise.

    elephant decor
    small rooms
    noise issues

    Historical significance of the building, Unique elephant theme decor, Charming architectural style

    Rooms are exceptionally small, especially the bathrooms!!! More noise insulation between floors would enhance guest comfort!!! It would also be appreciated if the common areas were better ventilated with fewer strange odors!!!
